2018 Ford Transit Custom 2.0L Diesel · YP68 GWZ

The vehicle remains roadworthy, having passed its most recent inspection in December 2025 at 76,575 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable but indicates a recurring pattern of neglect regarding consumable items rather than significant mechanical or structural failure. While the latest test flagged a damaged offside rear tyre, the vehicle has consistently met minimum safety standards, suggesting that the owner addresses issues only when they interfere with the testing process. At 76,575 miles over eight years, the Transit has averaged approximately 9,500 miles per year, which aligns with typical light usage for a commercial vehicle. The mileage data shows consistent usage patterns, with a gap of 18,564 miles between September 2021 and September 2023, and another 19,250 miles between September 2023 and December 2025. This steady accumulation suggests the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of standing, which is generally beneficial for the integrity of the drivetrain and suspension components. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the steering and tyre condition, as the record shows persistent issues in these areas. The 2023 test noted a worn central front steering column top bearing, which should be checked for play or knocking during a test drive. Furthermore, the repeated flags for tyre damage, nails, and uneven wear across 2021, 2023, and 2025 indicate a lack of proactive tyre maintenance. Inspect the current set of tyres for alignment alignment issues to ensure that the edge wear noted in 2021 is not still affecting the suspension geometry.
